My first though was, why Alvarado didn't take a count?
Rios is one hell of a fighter but I'm not sure if he has longevity with that sort of style, he seemed to take a lot of hits boxing on the inside and I had Alvarado winning the fight until the last round. His jab was real class (4th round in particular) but Rios seemed to take it all rather well (good chin). Not sure how Rios would get on with an opponent with more reach.
Fantastic fight! Would love to see Rios getting a shot at someone like Marquez.
